Act’s Up!

Act’s Up

When the curtains close

Your behind closed doors

The happiness simmers

The smile fades

The fame gone

The fake love disappears

No one around

Your quiet

You stare and wonder

What is it all for?

Is it just the act in me?

Can they not see the real me?

On stage its all love

All happiness

Roses and candies

balloons and confetti

The act keeps them near

When curtains close

Where are they?

Why, I fear?

Aloneness

Staring in the mirror

Cannot pretend with myself

With none

Behind that curtain

Who am I?

An act, a person…….

Thank you for reading.

Night-Time

Night-time!

I love the nighttime

It is my me time

Alone time

Chill time

Writing time

When my kids are asleep, Or away!

My creativity is awakened.

Ready with pen and paper

Ready to attack with my ideas, and there is many

I love the nighttime

Quiet, I can think in peace

Set the scene!

Write in peace!

I love the nighttime, my favorite time!

Thank you for reading

FLOW

FLOW!

F- Following my own lead, following my visions, my dreams, feeling powerful, facing myself

L- Learning and growing, letting go of the past, listening to my voice more often, loving myself

O- Observe everything around me, open my mind and my heart, and open to new and better ideas

W- Willing to do what it takes to achieve my dream, I have wisdom, wishful, working on a better life for my kids and myself, work hard, a woman that is worthy.

That is me. I go with the flow of things and wish for the best. Learning as I go!

Just go with the FLOW!!

Hope you enjoy this.

Figure it out!

When shit gets tough, you have to
Figure it out
It don’t matter if you can do it or not
Figure it out
Feeling like everyone, the world is against you
Figure it out
Feeling weak, unable, unstable, lost
Still
Figure it out
Weather it’s the highs or the lows
Figure it out
Smile on your face
Or
Tears in your eyes
Figure it out
No mater what
Figure it out
No matter what direction you take
Figure it out
What life is about
Making a way we have
No choice but too
Figure it out
Right?


Blessings All

Dream Chaser

Stepping into the world

With a purpose, with goals

Ms. Dream Chaser

Reaching high for those stars

Wanting more, become the best me

Ms. Dream Chaser

I will not give up

Dedication through my veins

Passion and creativeness I rain

Ms. Dream Chaser

Get what I set my eyes on

At my grasp, I can do it

Focused and never settle

Ms. Dream Chaser

Chasing my dreams forever.

Who I Am!

Who I Am!

I know who I am and what I want in life

No

I will no longer accept anything less than what I deserve

I know how I love and what I can offer

No

I will not give in and be someone I am not

I will not be treated like trash

I know who I am and what I want

Standing tall and facing all

I will be a better me

Yes

I will be better than my past, the old, me

Grown woman here, who goes for what she wants

I know who I am and what I want

Its me its who I am!

Thank you for reading

Jungle

Awaken in this

Jungle

Too much going on

Not sure as to what I am seeing

Pinching, slapping myself

Is this a

Dream

Maybe reality

In this jungle

I feel free

Moving around, being me

Accepted

Is this life

I ask myself

Talking and chilling with

The animals

Friends or foes

I do not know

This jungle

Feel right, Safe

Yet scary

Am I a human?

Maybe a lion

Again, is this a

 Dream, a reality

The jungle

Wild and free

 No surprise

The jungle

Is just like

Me.

Chilling

Me and my new peps

No cares in

This jungle          

I am wild and

Doing me

I get along with

This Jungle!!!

-Blessings and Love-

Thank you for reading.
